We were arriving by car, so one of our hotel criteria was free parking. That was always going to leave us in a non-central location, but the Residence is actually not too long a walk from the city centre, so we rarely needed the car during our stay. The service we received throughout our 3 night stay was excellent, and... More

My wife and I recently spent a night in this beautiful hotel which is ideally situated for Edinburgh's West End. We were met at reception by a very friendly young Australian girl who enthused about the city and the hotel. She in no way exaggerated the quality of this splendid residence which displays all the grandeur of it's Georgian heritage... More

We were here over a short weekend and able to get the Sunday night with dinner, bed and breakfast at an excellent rate. The room description said a suite but really it was a large room although the bathroom was very large and had a jacuzzi big enough for two to relax in. Don't forget Archemides principle that the water... More

We stayed at the Edinburgh Residence courtesy of a timeshare exchange and found it to be one of the best timeshare experiences yet. From the initial greeting at check-in to the final farewell at checkout, we received the royal treatment from the staff, who went out of their way to accommodate our every request.

Absolutely fantastic stay for a week in a townhouse apartment. The rooms were spotlessly clean and very comfortable. We loved the fact that the room was only serviced when we wanted it and that the hotel tries to stay as "green" as possible by only replacing towels when customers wish it. The staff were very friendly and couldn't be more... More

We have just returned from a week-long stay at the spectacular Edinburgh Residence. My spirits soared on simply opening the front door to be greeted by a cavernous and tastefully decorated lobby, complete with roaring log fire. I fully expected to be slightly disappointed by our suite (no. 28) as I couldn't quite believe anything could live up to that... More

We stayed for 4 nights at the Edinburgh Residence and it was absolutely wonderful! The Victorian terraced house is very beautiful and classy. It is situated in a very quiet residential area, yet only about 5 - 10 mins walk to the city centre. Our suite was stunning and everything was immaculate and very clean! We had 2 huge bathrooms,...
